...After Supporter Says President Should be tried for treason
The Obama campaign slammed Mitt Romney Monday for not confronting a supporter who said during a town hall event in Cleveland that the president should be tried for treason.
We have a president right now that is operating outside the structure of our Constitution, a woman said during a question-and-answer session. And I want to know yeah, I do agree he should be tried for treason but I want to know what you would be able to do to restore balance between the three branches of government and what you are going to be able to do to restore our Constitution in this country.
Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, ignored the treason comment and answered her question.
Well, as Im sure you do, I happen to believe the Constitution was not just brilliant but probably inspired, he said. I happen to believe the same thing about the Declaration of Independence. I would respect the different branches of government if I am fortunate enough to become president.
SNIP
Time after time in this campaign, Mitt Romney has had the opportunity to show that he has the fortitude to stand up to hateful and over-the-line rhetoric and time after time, he has failed to do so, campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith said in a statement. If this is the leadership he has shown on the campaign trail, what can the American people expect of him as commander-in-chief?
Romney repeated his position shortly after the event during an interview on CNN but rejected the notion that he had a responsibility to take on the audience member.
I dont correct all of the questions that get asked of me. Romney said.

Is that supposed to be contoversial statement, in some way?
“I’m not on the payroll to defend Obama from comments others make about him that he might not like. I’m actually running against him.”
And that is the end of that. Unfortunate he does not say things like this.
FUBO!
Imagine if a Repub actually decided to play offense?? This is a girls softball sitting on a T.
Pray for America
It’s The Boston Globe ... paper mache’ made from it falls apart, it clogs sewers and even parakeets reject it.
And I want to know yeah, I do agree he should be tried for treason but I want to know what you would be able to do to restore balance between the three branches of government and what you are going to be able to do to restore our Constitution in this country.
It sounds to me more like she was responding to
comments from the audience around her.
If we actually tried people for treason and sedition, maybe it would stop! Professional courtesy I guess.
Obama campaign just checking to make sure Romney behaves JUST LIKE John McCain.
They are reminding Mitt to stay politically correct, and that they expect him to police words like “Muslim” or “Marxist” or “Birth Certificate” or “Treason” or “Radical” by himself.
Romney was right in not addressing her statement. The woman was right on, Obama is a traitor. He is no more of an American then Fidel Castro or Hugo Chavez are. Both he and his wife, Michelle hate this country immensely, and are all they can to destroy it for “all” Americans. They may be able to fool the druggies and Kool-Aid drinkers, but....they are not fooling millions of Americans. And....the Democrats protecting Obama are dead wrong and will find out just how wrong they are on Election Day, November 6th.
The Democrats are way too subtle on this one ~ they need to 'splain it.
Ok, controversial or not, I will gladly make the statement ANYWHERE anyone would want to have it stated.
In no way does Obozzo intimidate me.
What a demonstration of the clear difference between Republicans (even RINOs like Romney) and Democrats. Republicans believe voters are adults and should be given the opportunity to exercise their First Amendment rights. Democrats believe voters are children who need to be corrected and instructed in what and how to think and speak.

the truth hurts
Treason?
YES
Why would Mittens condemn the
Truth?
Treason?
YES
Why would Mittens condemn the
Truth?
lest we forget he called us terrorists
The truth really hurts.......don’t it?
Could be an Axelrod/Obama plant. I expect to see lots of screaming accusations about Obama thrown at Romney that the MSM will expect him to apologize for.
This pResident IS a traitor!
Getting hit where it hurts, eh?
Obama is trying to determine just how truthful and tough Romney will get in this fight.
Will Romney fight back...or simply roll over like McCain?
Evidently, Obama believes Romney is one of his surrogates and should defend him.
Then again, maybe I’m the fool for assuming he’s not.
RINOs still don’t believe Republicans, particularly Conservatives, should be given the opportunity to vote for their candidates in a primary.
McCain would have said “You don’t have to be askeered of him. He is a fine man.”
I am sure she has a super audit in her future.
Bunch’a bitter, Constitutional clingers....
He should be tried for treason. Or at least sedition. The problem is how to decide which issue to try him on.
Truth hurts, don’t it, DNC?
Remember all those times Obama publicly denounced the people who called for Bush to be tried for treason while he was in office?
No?
Oh wait. That’s because he didn’t.
That's what killed Perry ~ he said Conservatives were 'heartless' ~ and right up to that second he'd been one of our candidates ~ then he revealed himself as a RINO.
We already know Romney is a RINO ~ but does he want our votes?
I myself would like to ask Romney if he will reverse 99% of the Executive orders this POS Obama has written.
Don't even bring it up ~
...because sometimes silence is golden!



Barack Hussein Obama is our first doucebag president. Please let him be our last.
For a good look at what I mean, check out this Wall Street Journal piece:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704224004574489563238177126.html
So, according to The Won, Romney doesn’t antagonize the base enough? Well, makes as much sense as the talk I hear from the left about how the press savages Obama on a daily basis...far tougher than they were on Bush.
Getting nervous Hussein?
This from the same a-hole that was publicly hinting that he might consider handing GWB and Dick Cheney over to Spain if they were successful in getting the International Criminal Court to issue indictments for them for “war crimes”.
I can't blame the Obama folks for thinking that. McCain was masterful at slapping conservatives down. Peerless. If I were Romney, I'd tell Obama to go get McCain on the campaign trail to defend him again.
Federal law provides that treason may only be committed who owes allegiance to the United States.
My only question to Milktoast Mitt:
“If you become president, will you appoint someone in the Justice Department who will investigate, prosecute and jail Eric ‘the Thug’ Holder, Barack Hussein Obama, (and others) for murder, sedition, perjury, theft, conspiracy, embezzlement, treason, hate crimes, racial bias and on and on?”
My answer is that he does NOT have the NUTS. Like all the punk a$$ rinos he surrounds himself with, he will pee his pants and lose his load the first time some ratz calls him a “racist”.
How pathetic.
Throw it right back at that BASTARD (and he is, look it up) Barack.
Demand to know why he hired Shepard Fairey of the “Bush belongs behind bars” sticker campaign.
Barack has LIED in his address to Congress (which is why a congressman said “YOU LIE”), he has attacked the Supreme Court repeatedly. He does NOT believe in 3 separate branches of government. He does NOT support our allies. He bows before foreigner leaders. He trash talks America on foreign soil. He has declare surrender in the War on Terror.
Let’s not even bother with the whole gun smuggling to scare the public into suspending the 2nd amendment issue.
Dear Mitt:
When one of your supporters blurts out the truth about me, your preferred response should be “Obama’s a fine family man.” Thank you for playing.
Sincerely,
Barry
